i know how u feel, I live in New Orleans and EVERYONE was gassing up to evac for Gustav, ended up running out of gas in New Orleans, and parts of Baton rouge (1 hour away). Then the power was out for at least a week, over a week at some places, so we had to pump gas in Lafayette (2.5 hours away) before we came home, b/c Baton Rouge didn't have power for ~2.5 weeks so their pumps didn't work, and the pumps in New Orleans either weren't open/didn't have power/or didn't get more fuel....

As oil hovers around $102, some 30% lower than its high of $147, gasoline is only down 9% here.
Near my home it was $3.92 when I left this morning but still $3.68 near my office.
Oh, and my sister lives in Houston. Her side of town isn't even being evacuated, so the fact that these refineries are closed is BS!

Production actually took a hit from the last storm and never got back up to 100% before this storm hit so our gas reserve is low. This is why prices are up an average of $0.05.
The experts (I have to laugh when I say that) say that what some people is doing is called "Panic Buying"
This is the # 1 reason why prices jump. Get gas when you need it. Don't run out and fill your swimming pool with the stuff. The sky is not falling.
